[FIWARE-ihubs-committee] FIWARE Foundation Announces Red Hat as Platinum Member - BE THE FIRST ONE TO KNOW

[Valdirene De Oliveira]

Dear iHubs, good morning,


This is breaking news for FIWARE, it’s Community and its ecosystem, and we
would like to directly inform you. As our precious FIWARE iHubs, we want
you to be one of the first ones to know about one of our latest successes
and a dedicated press release going out today. We are beyond proud to
announce Red Hat <https://www.redhat.com/en>, the world’s leading provider
of enterprise Open Source solutions, as our newest Platinum Member. Having
Red Hat on board means a great deal to our Community. From 11 o'clock
onwards today, you will see a series of publications and updates on our
Marketing materials, our FIWARE website and a ramp-up of social media
posts.


About FIWARE and Red Hat collaboration

Red Hat’s long-established commitment to the development of Open Source
technologies is surely outstanding and adds weight to the work developed by
our Community and our strategic partners. For 25 years, Red Hat has been
harnessing the Open Source development model’s ability to deliver
enterprise-ready innovation at faster, more flexible and more
cost-efficient rates and will hence help us to further power the drive to
implement FIWARE standards and accelerate Open Source compliance
activities. The collaboration will also help us establish Open Source as
the default choice for smart solutions in large companies and SMEs, the
public sector and the research field. Moreover, the incorporation of Red
Hat in our governance speaks volume about the sort of positive impact that
this membership can have on helping the foundation to further evolve and
help accelerate open innovation at large. As one of our 15 international
iHubs, you play an essential role in driving innovation at communities and
we couldn't be happier to share such news today. Join us in welcoming Shashin
Shinde, Red Hat EMEA’s chief technologist strategist, to the Board of
Directors. Shashin’s expertise and experience will actively contribute to
the FIWARE strategic roadmap and growth strategy.


FIWARE Foundation will equally help Red Hat to further grow their presence
in diverse industries including Smart Cities. Together with Red Hat, FIWARE
has the chance to join forces with the global movement fostering Open
Source innovation and standardization. We strongly believe this marks the
beginning of even more promising years for FIWARE Foundation. *To read this
